Immediately following the registration of a voter under the provisions of M.G.L. Chapter 51, Section 42, the Election Commission of the city shall proceed to determine whether there appears at that time to be probable cause to believe that the affiant has made a false statement in such an affidavit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Commission, or any Agent of it, shall do the following:
(A) Examine the then most-recent Annual Listing of Residents, to determine whether or not the affiant is listed at the address given, and in the event the affiant is not listed;
(B) Request the affiant to produce reasonable proof of residence, satisfactory to the Election Commission or its Agent, and in the event the affiant fails to produce reasonable identification, the said Commission or its Agent, shall do as described in division (C) below;
(C) Forthwith dispatch to the affiant by first class mail, postage prepaid, in an envelope endorsed “Address Correction Requested - Do Not Forward” a notice, informing the affiant that unless the Commission shall receive, within ten days of the date of mailing, a signed, written confirmation of receipt of said notice, by means of a card or letter which can be mailed by the affiant without the paying of postage therefor, the Commission will proceed under the provisions of M.G.L. Chapter 51, Section 47B to determine his or her qualifications to vote.
